song to listen to next time you're rubbernecking a pile-up thanking god it wasn't you.

lyrics

A monster smashes buildings cause its parents were distant
It's good entertainment butcha gotta live it
You don’t wanna miss this, no, you don’t wanna miss this, man, no

A cult leader leads his people singing while they’re still living
They were busy this year so this is their Thanksgiving
I’ve got a friend in Jesus, do you have a friend in Jesus?

A news anchor breaks script wondering how it all happens
Can’t we ever make mistakes we don’t wanna go back to?
Everything is needless, everything’s so needless

But a producer begs to differ, in fact he thanks god he has it
He’d be living on the streets without your precious nightly habit
Everyone’s gotta see this so everyone’s gonna see this

Table this discussion, it’s getting out of hand
If I’m sitting down it’s cause I don’t wanna stand
You're on your own

You're on your own

A paramedic finds a cop to help them do their job,
But then they’re left with more work than they’ve already got
The cameras are leaving, the cameras are leaving

If an ambulance sees you, it’ll do it’s best to stop
But it wouldn’t want those chasing it to hit the back and drop
How many are bleeding, how many are bleeding?

Table this discussion, it’s getting out of hand
If I’m on my feet it’s cause everybody ran
You're on your own
You're on your own, man
